Hi Pichard, The figures really don't mean much as your friend could play 5 more games and it could be the other way around in that he might only win 1 or 2 games out of the next 5 games! My friend who is rated 2345 USCF won a few games in a row and then came back the next day only to be defeated several games in a row and didn't win one game that day playing against ChessMaster 6000. The moral of the story is that you need tons of games for the data to start to mean anything at all. The other more important point is that our Master friends had fun playing against the beasts!
